A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

"Feed? Ono." Huang Lei's slow and deliberate voice came from the other end of the phone, and the faint sound of birds chirping could be heard in the background, indicating that he was strolling around in the yard.

"Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

Chen Ye leaned back in the van and crossed his legs.

"Teacher Huang, what are you doing? What have you been busy with lately?"

"Hey, what are you busy with?" Huang Lei chuckled, his voice relaxed.

"I'm resting at home in Beijing. The show 'Go Fighting!' has been off the air for a long time now. When I'm at home, I go to the Beijing Film Academy for classes and occasionally do a variety show. I'm living a comfortable life."

Chen Ye's lips twitched. This old fox had already entered the life of a retired old man walking his bird ahead of time.

"That's perfect." Chen Ye cut to the chase without further ado.

"Come to L Prefecture, Teacher Huang."

"L Prefecture?" Huang Lei's puzzled voice came through.

"Why did you go all the way to the Northwest? What kind of torturous new job have you taken on this time?"

Chen Ye cleared his throat.

"I want to propose."

There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.

Chen Ye moved his phone a little further away and glanced at the screen. The call hadn't been disconnected; the call duration was still ticking.

A full five seconds passed.

"Holy crap?!"

"You're proposing?! To whom? To that girl Yuqi?"

"Nonsense." Chen Ye rolled his eyes dramatically.

"Who else could it be but her? I can't very well propose to Lu Han, can I?"

Lu Han, sitting in the front passenger seat with a GoPro in hand, sneezed loudly, perfectly timed with the occasion.

"Oh my, congratulations!" Huang Lei finally realized what was happening, his tone revealing undisguised excitement.

"Great, Ono! This prodigal son has finally put marriage on the agenda! When?"

"Tomorrow."

"So hasty?" Huang Lei clicked his tongue, but didn't mince words.

"Okay, I have to join in the fun on such a joyous occasion. I'll check the flight tickets to L State tonight. If I'm too late, I won't even get a taste of the latest news."

"Thank you for your help, Teacher Huang."

"Hey, don't be so polite with me." Huang Lei laughed.

"I'll definitely treat you to a good meal when I get there. I'm hanging up now, I'm going to check the tickets!"

The call ended swiftly and decisively.

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow; the old fox was indeed reliable.

Slide your finger across the screen, next up: Lady Huang Bo.

The phone rang for a long time but no one answered.

I bet they're filming somewhere in the mountains right now.

Chen Ye didn't pay attention and swiped to the next one, Little Sheep Zhang Yixing.

The phone rang for a full half minute, and just as Chen Ye was about to hang up, it was answered.

"Feed...Yo-Yoko?"

Zhang Yixing's panting voice came through the phone, with deafening bass-heavy dance music playing in the background.

"What are you doing? Running a marathon here?" Chen Ye was speechless.

"I'm... huff... I'm practicing dancing," Zhang Yixing gasped for breath.

"The concert is about to start, what's wrong, Yezi? Is it urgent?"

Chen Ye didn't keep Huang Lei in suspense any longer and directly delivered the same stun grenade he had just told Huang Lei.

"I'm proposing in L state tomorrow. Are you coming?"

"You...you're proposing?!" Zhang Yixing stammered.

"This is big news!!"

"Do you have some time, Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Yixing said with a smile.

"My buddy's wedding is a life-changing event; I have to squeeze in time even if I don't have it!"

"But Noko, my schedule is too tight lately. As soon as the proposal ceremony is over, I have to fly off to rehearsal that very night."

"Just showing up and being part of the atmosphere team is enough," Chen Ye laughed.

"Let's check the tickets quickly."

"Okay, okay, I'll have my assistant book the tickets right now! See you tomorrow!"

After hanging up with Zhang Yixing, Chen Ye then dialed the numbers for Yan Wang Sun Honglei and the stingy squirrel Wang Xun.

Upon hearing the news, Yan Wang roared with even more excitement on the phone than Chen Ye himself.

He immediately patted his chest and declared that he would wear his signature sunglasses and rush to L state to support Chen Ye.

Wang Xun, however, looked full of regret.

"I'm so sorry, Ono," Wang Xun apologized repeatedly on the phone.

"I've been glued to the film set lately. The director is constantly pushing for more time, and I just can't get any leave. It's really unbearable!"

"It's alright, Xun-ge, work is more important," Chen Ye said, expressing his understanding.

We're all in this industry, and it's normal to be caught up in things we can't control.

As for Xiaozhu, Chen Ye made a voice call, but Xiaozhu was still abroad, crossing half the globe and couldn't make it back in time, so he could only send his blessings over the phone.

Chen Ye put down his phone and rubbed his sore neck.

The lineup is already very strong.

We have Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han here, plus Li Chen who will arrive tomorrow. The Extreme Challenge Men's Team here has Huang Lei, Zhang Yixing, and Sun Honglei.

And then there's the presence of a heavyweight national host like Teacher He to keep things in check.

In addition, there are two musicians, Maddie and Efgenie, who are going to L state tomorrow.

This isn't a marriage proposal; this lineup could easily host a top-tier New Year's Eve gala in L state.

As for Lin Junjie, Wang Leehom, Zhou Jielun, and the others, Chen Ye notified them one by one via WeChat.

These music industry giants have been extremely busy these past few days and simply can't spare the time.

However, they all sent money transfers like crazy on WeChat, saying they would get together after they finished their work.

Chen Ye leaned back in his seat, looking out the car window.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for the little rich girl to be born tomorrow.

On the other side, inside the villa.

In the spacious and bright living room.

Chen Ma, Hu Xiaoling, sat on the leather sofa, holding her phone in her hand.

Mr. Chen sat down next to him and handed him a peeled apple.

Why are you so nervous?

"Our Xiao Ye is so successful now, he's a top talent in the Chinese entertainment industry, isn't he good enough for Yu Qi?"

"Go away, what do you know, you old man!" Aunt Chen rolled her eyes at him.

"This is a matter of attitude!"

"They raised their beautiful daughter to adulthood, and now this brat of ours is going to take her away. How can they feel good about it? They have to give him a lot of face, don't they?"

Chen Ma cleared her throat and dialed the number in her contacts.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello, who is this?"

On the other end of the phone came a slightly authoritative, deep middle-aged male voice.

Chen Ma immediately put on a warm smile and raised her voice an octave.

"Hello, hello! Are you Yuqi's father? I'm Chen Ye's aunt, my name is Hu Xiaoling!"

A high-end residential community in Beijing.

Mr. Song, wearing a shirt, sat on the wicker chair on the balcony reading today's newspaper.

A cup of freshly brewed premium Tieguanyin tea is placed beside me.

Upon hearing the words "Chen Ye's aunt".

Mr. Song frowned, his hand holding the teacup frozen in mid-air.

He remembered Chen Ye's face, and the image of that brat drinking himself into oblivion and clinging to the table leg at the dinner table years ago.

Didn't these two kids just get back together not long ago?

Why did the other parent call suddenly?

Mr. Song had a sudden unease in his heart.

Could it be that Chen Ye has acted up again and bullied his daughter, and the parents have come to apologize?

These two seem inseparable on variety shows, but they never seem to argue.

Mr. Song put down his teacup and straightened his back.

In any case, the bride's parents must not lose their authority!

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Song was silent for a few seconds before his voice came through.

"Oh, it's Sister Hu," Song's father said in a measured tone.

"Why did you call me?"

Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Chen Ma immediately sensed the defensiveness in the other person's tone, and her smile became even brighter.

"Oh dear, this is my fault, and it's also Ono's fault for being so young and naive!"

Chen's mother took the initiative and directly took responsibility.

"Isn't it Ono who's planning to propose to Tamaki?!"

There was no sound from the other end of the phone.

Chen Ma remained calm and continued outputting.

"That brat Ono was so excited about himself, he didn't even bother to tell you and Yuqi's mother beforehand!"

"I thought that for such a major life event as proposing, I must invite you and Yuqi's mother to L Prefecture."

"How about our parents meet? It would be a good opportunity for us to witness this happy moment for our two children together."

There was still silence on the other end of the phone.

A full ten seconds passed.

"Sister Hu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Song's father's voice trembled noticeably, and the authoritative persona he had just maintained crumbled.

"Yuqi and Xiaoye, those two kids, haven't they just made up a few days ago?"

"This...this is so sudden, Ono is proposing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ma immediately understood that the father was afraid.

The young couple got back together just a few days ago, and in a moment of impulsiveness, they proposed in a grand and dramatic way.

If they break up again in a couple of days because of some disagreement about their future plans, then it won't be a peaceful breakup, but a divorce.

"I understand, I understand your concerns perfectly, Yuqi's father!" Chen's mother quickly reassured him.

"Ono, despite his usual carefree and playful demeanor in front of the camera, is a deep thinker. He's always kept everything bottled up inside and carried it all by himself since he was little."

Chen Ma patted her thigh.

"But don't worry! Ono will definitely treat Yuqi well!"

"Although the two kids haven't been back together for long, Ono is definitely not the type to act impulsively."

"He discussed this proposal with us privately for a long time. It must have been a well-thought-out decision. He really wants to give Yuqi a home."

Sitting next to his wife, Mr. Chen nodded repeatedly and gave her a thumbs up.

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Song fell silent again.

A heavy sigh came through the receiver.

"Lzhou, right?" Song's father's voice betrayed a hint of compromise.

"Yes, yes, L State!" Chen Ma's face lit up with joy as soon as she saw a chance.

"Alright then." Mr. Song sighed again.

"Let me check the plane tickets with Yuqi's mom."

"That's wonderful!" Aunt Chen smiled from ear to ear.

"Then see you in L Prefecture! Once you've booked your flight, send me a WeChat message, and I'll have Ono pick you up from the airport!"

"Okay, I understand."

Mr. Song agreed and hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone coming from his phone, Mr. Song threw it on the coffee table.

He leaned back in the wicker chair, completely listless.

He took out a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, put it in his mouth, and lit it.

Smoke billowed across the balcony.

Mr. Song felt very uncomfortable and depressed.

His precious daughter, whom he had raised with great care for over twenty years, was taken by that wild boar Chen Ye.

And this wasn't just an ordinary arch; they took the whole thing, pot and all, away.

How could it be so sudden?

Just as Song's father was smoking in silence...

The sliding door to the balcony was opened.

Yuqi's mother, wearing a cooking apron and holding a spatula, walked out of the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Lao Song?" Yuqi's mother asked, looking puzzled.

"Who called just now? What did you talk about? You look so upset."

Mr. Song exhaled a puff of smoke.

Turning her head, she looked at Yuqi's mother, whose face was full of confusion.

"It was Chen Ye's aunt calling," Song's father said in a deep voice.

"Aunt Ono?" Yuqi's mother was even more confused.

"Why would she call you for no reason?"

Mr. Song stubbed out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray.

"Let's go to L state."

Song's father gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence slowly and deliberately.

"That brat Chen Ye is going to propose to our Yuqi!"
